Video of The Story of Ruth: An Amazing Life at growingbolder.com

Posted on May 12th, 2008 at 5:35 pm

It's hard to say that a 109-year-old died too soon. But Ruth Hamilton led a full and amazing life.

She was simply amazing. Just some of the highlights, she was married to a Major League Baseball player, she was one of the first women to host a radio show, in 1937 she came face to face with Hitler and tried to warn the world, she was the first woman elected to the Legislature from New Hampshire, and those are just a few of the things that made Ruth a national treasure.

With the purpose of passing some of her wisdom along, she filed dozens of video blogs on GrowingBolder.com, making her the oldest person ever to blog and the oldest person to be a member of a social network Web site.

There is so much more of Ruth for you to explore and discover. Click here to start on her GB Personal Profile Page and help spread the word about this wonderful woman! Enjoy.

Thank you Growing Bolder for keeping my friend alive, I had to cry while watching it I really miss calling her and seeing Ruth and giving her Big hugs she Loved to be Loved and to Love others and helping her at her meals. I promised to help make sure she was handled like a Queen in her old age days and you, Bill did a extra wounderful job. Keeping my friend alive. We all who looks at this will learn alot. from our friend now shared all over the world. I wounder If any one out there remembers Ruth from the past. If so please let us know. You do know that We formed a Ruth Hamilton Foundation in her honor so we can some day when it gets built up , help with education and nutrition for children and the elderly thats what we told her we would do and we did. Ruth 's Legancy will live on Thanks Growing Bolder Penny Sheipe
